Understanding the love of Christ

Ephisians 3:13-19
What causes the saints to comprehend the fullness of Christ's love?
v.16 they are strengthened by the Holy Spirit.
Sharing with each other what God has done for us individually brings us a bigger, better picture of God.

P.S. Cheesy poem of my making
You can grow wild and free
In that way resembling a tree

You can grow round and big
Thus looking more like a pig

You can change your mind
To be a little nicer and kind

You will look really smart
If you soften your heart

P. Tomenko

"If the soul is to be purified and ennobled, and made fit for the heavenly courts, there are two lessons to be learned - self sacrifice and self-control" -E. G. White

Do you not find the Bible appealing to you because it relates to the times and experiences you have had? Is direct application of the Word of God in my life different from the intention of the writer? Who is the writer? Is it limited human, i.e. John, or is it unlimited and diverse God, who can supply (perhaps that I may apply) the words that I read to the life I live.

Holy Spirit is not a part of human being. It is a divine being that has an intricate knowledge of our hearts and minds.
